Kallis languidly dials a number, in between he double checks in his diary, disconnects and then dials again, and then again, this goes on for a long while - cock crows, day breaks, newspaper flies through the window and knocks Kallis...(all this happens in fast motion in a few seconds of course) - Finally Kallis presses Call!

Screen is now split between Kallis’ room and Azhar's home where Sangeeta Bijlani looks on lovingly

Beatles' 'Fixing a hole' starts to play and both Kallis and Azhar sing like choir boys; while Sangeeta dances her Bollywood gig around a column as if it were a tree.
